thoglette has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

We run on mixed platforms & have configured our editors and config mgt. tools to use Unix style \n. However Perl under Win32 wants to use DOS style lf. Neither perldoc perlvar nor perl -V seem to offer any clues to how the meaning of \n can be controlled. Is there a Perl-time switch? Is there a compile time switch (presuming I rebuild from scratch) Does it depend on the compiler itself? Can anyone enlighten me? Thog.
